MONDAY WALK - MONDAY WALK - MONDAY WALK - MONDAY!
Hello IdF walkers,
The early Easter weekend is over and now let's hope for a sunny early Spring day on Monday April 4, when I offer you to lead a walk along the Seine.
We will start at the Metro 10 end station, Boulogne Pont de St-Cloud, and will then end the walk at Metro 10 station Javel Andre Citroen.
The meeting point is in front of the Brasserie Jean Baptiste which you reach if you go to the end of the metro train, up the stairs and then again up the stairs to the left. I will be there at 9.45 and we leave at 10.00 direction Pont de St-Cloud.
This is a short and energetic walk of three hours. Have water and a snack with you and as always the right clothes and shoes. Please do not bring any walking sticks as they disturb when we walk in a group.
See you in good spirits and accustomed to Summer time.
Martina

Hike for March 30
Hello walking friends,
Spring is here although the thermometer hasn't understood that yet. We have leaders who have planned great walks for us for all of April and most of May and June.
Catherine Maussion will lead us next Wednesday, 18km, in the departments the Val-de-Marne and the Seine et Marne. Here is her info:
This program is strongly recommended for those suffering from altitude sickness. The only hill we have to go up is approximatively 20 meters...
We will meet at Chatelet Les Halles, RER A at 9h02 (at Nation RER A, at 9h08) arriving at Boissy St Leger, the terminus at 9h31.
There is an RER every 10 minutes.
We will meet at Chatelet Les Halles, RER A at 9h02 (at Nation RER A, at 9h08) arriving at Boissy St Leger, the terminus at 9h31.
There is an RER every 10 minutes.
We come back from Ozoir-La-Ferrière, RER E. So it's not a loop for those with a car... There is an RER approximatively every 30 minutes with a change at Val de Fontenay, to come back to Nation, via RER A.
The program crosses two forests (Forêt du Bois Gros and Forêt Notre-Dame), passes by two castles (Château des Marmousets et Château des Agneaux), a lot of huge oaks trees, and with any luck, some ashy herons.
Be ready to walk 18 kilometers along trails, but occasionally by-roads, in the company of a mixture of sounds, such as the babble of chickadees and sparrows, and more contemporary sounds too...
No bail out. Come with adapted clothes, shoes, not forgetting picnic, sweets and energy drinks.
See you soon !
Catherine

Dear Hikers,
To celebrate the arrival of Spring, we have a Paris walk on Monday, March 21 and two hike options on Wednesday, March 23: a suburban walk with Marcel Kohl and a country walk with Daniel Robinot.
First, here's a reminder from Marcel about the Paris walk with Serge Leger.
Comme les années précédentes, mon ami Serge Léger se propose de nous guider à Paris. Le sujet de cette visite est
MADAME DE SEVIGNE, Dame du MARAIS.
Le rendez-vous est le lundi 21 mars à 10 h devant l’Hôtel de Sully
62 rue Saint Antoine; métro Saint Paul
Nous irons de sa maison natale Place Royale, maintenant Place des Vosges, à sa dernière demeure parisienne l’Hôtel Carnavalet.
Ce parcours commencera à l’Hôtel de Sully, puis la place des Vosges, l’église Saint Paul, l’Hôtel de Beauvais, l’église Saint Gervais Saint Protais, la rue des Rosiers, et la rue de Sévigné.
Pour ceux qui le désireront, nous irons ensuite déjeuner dans la “cantine” de Serge, “Au bon couscous”, rue Xavier Privas(5é)

A bientôt,j’espère
Amicalement

Now for Daniel's information:
Amis randonneurs, bonjour.
La pluie et la greve du 9 Mars ont compromis la randonnée proposée par Jacques, mais il y avait trois courageux quand même, qui étaient récompensée par le soleil pour le pic-nique.
Cette semaine je propose une variante dans le même coin au travers de la forêt domaniale de Versailles d'où nous pourrons voir la Pièce d'Eau des Suisses et une partie du château. C'est un boucle à partir de la station Petit Jouy les Loges.
Puis nous nous dirigerons vers l'étang du Moulin à Renard, lieu du pic-nique. Ensuite, pour digérer tranquillement, nous musarderons d'étang en étang en suivant le cours de la Bièvre qui nous ramènera à notre point de départ. Long de 23 km, ce parcours nous fera prendre 500 m de dénivelé dont une belle côte dès le départ afin de se mettre en jambes.
Pour venir : RER C, SLOM, qui part d'Invalides a 9:11, direction St. Quentin en Yvelines, arrivant à Versailles chantiers à 9:41. Facile changement de trains pour le RER C, VICK, DIRECTION Versailles Château rive gauche a 9:44, et qui arrive à Petit Jouy les loges a 9:48 où je vous attendrai.
Retour par la même station.
Normalement, le terrain est très practicable, toutefois, comme d'habitude, bonnes chaussures, vêtements adaptés, etc ...
A bientôt
Daniel

Friends hikers, hello.
The rain and train strike on March 9 prevented most of the idfwalkers from participating in the hike organized by Jacques. There were three courageous hikers, however, who were rewarded with sun for the picnic and most of the afternoon.
Next Wednesday, Daniel Robinot is proposing a similar hike in the same area through the forest of Versailles where we will also see the Pièce d'Eau des Suisses and part of the castle.
Then we will will head to the pond "Moulin a Renard" where we will have our picnic. Then to digest tranquilly we will stroll from pond to pond following the course of the Bièvre to take us back to our starting point.
This 23 km route will have a 500 m elevation gain with a nice climb at the start to limber up our legs.
Getting there: from Invalides, RER C Train SLOM, departure at 9:11 from Invalides, direction St. Quentin en Yvelines, arriving at Versailles Chantiers at 9:41. Then we'll make an easy change of trains to the RER C VICK, leaving at 9:44, direction Versailles Chateau, arriving in Petit Jouy - Les Loges at 9:48 where I'll be waiting for you.

Hike for March 9, 2016
Dear Hiking Friends,
A 16-km walk around the camp of Satory. We will begin at the railway station Versailles-Chantiers at 10:00. As we can expect no train, the car park would be almost empty... We will go near the Pièce d'Eau des Suisses and through the Bois de Satory and back along the ponds du Moulin à Renard, du Val and de la Geneste. Vertical drop aggregates are + and - 210 m.
Bail out is possible at Saint-Cyr,... if any train...
If no strike, a train would leave Gare Montparnasse at 9:20 and arrive at Versailles-Chantiers at 9:45... Check http://www.sncf.com
Jacques Genin will lead our hike next Wednesday. As you probably know, a strike is scheduled as well for next Wednesday! In case the train you want to take is not running, you might want to set up a car pool among yourselves.
Here is Jacques' proposal:

Anyway, I'll be there. I'll go on foot.
Notes from ML: I checked the SNCF site this am and they do not list the train mentioned above but the following. 9:06, arriving at 9:20 and 9:58 arriving at 10:10.
The site Vianavigo yields this information: RER C direction St. Quentin en Yvelines, leaves St. michel Notre Dame at 9:04-9:42 and 9:19-9:57. From La Defense to Versailles Chantiers: 9:29-9:51.
PLEASE CHECK REGULARLY ON THE SNCF SITE FOR I FORMATION ABOUT THE STRIKE.
Remember, you need personal insurance to hike with us.
